GOLF DRIVER.

Application filed July 16,

To all whom it may conaevm:

Be it known that I, LEWIS L. Soorrr, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Golf Drivers, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a metal headed golf driver witha very large striking face and yet keep the weight down to practicallimits, which weight for the entire club varies from 12 to 14 ounces.

I have found that by having a very large striking face and by teeing theball high, the chances of hitting the ball are greatly increased. I havealso found that greater distance can begotten with a metal head and thatgreater accuracy can be gotten with a metal driver head using a steelshaft, where said shaft is secured directly to the metal head.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a front view face of the driver head.

Figure 2 is a section taken on line 1 1 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a bottom view of my driver head.

Figure 4 is a top plan view. 4

Referring now to the drawings, 1 is the main body of my driver headwhich is made, of an aluminum alloy. 2 is a steel shaft secured to saidhead. It will be noted that the end of said shaft projects into thehollow interior of said head and that it is enlarged to prevent comingout. 3 is a. metal plate which is attached to the driver head by thescrews 4. The numeral 5 indicates reinforcing ribs which firmly connectthe striking face with the body of the casting. 6 is a weight which issecured on the inside of said casting for varying the weight of the clubhead according to requirements.

I claim:

1. A golf driver having a metal head which is hollow and which isprovided with an o ning at'the bottom and being pro vided ivith a platewhich is rigidly secured to said head and which covers the entire bottomof said head.

of the striking 1923. Serial No.651,941.

' 2. A golf driver having a metal head which is hollow and which isprovided with an opening at the bottom, and having pro- 5; jccting lugscast to the walls of said head, and having a plate secured to said headby screws threaded into said projecting lugs, said plate covering theopening at the bottom of said head.

3. A golf driver having a metal head which is hollow and which isprovided with an opening at the bottom, said opening being covered by aplate which is attached to said head by screws, one or more reinforcingribs' joining the inside wall of the striking face to the inside topwall of the club head.

4. A golf driver having an aluminum head which in hollow and which isprovided with an opening at the bottom and being provided with a platewhich is rigidly secured to said head and which covers the entire bottomof said head.

'5. A golf driver having a hollow metal head, a metal shaft attachedthereto and having its end project into the hollow space inside of saidhead, said projecting end of said shaft being enlarged so as to preventsame from easily being removed.

6 A golf driver having a hollow metal head, a metal shaft attachedthereto and having its end project into the hollow space inside of saidhead, said projecting end being enlarged so as to prevent the easyremoval of said shaft and an opening provided in said head opposite theprojecting end of said shaft so as to be able to enlarge the end of saidshaft after it is mounted in said head and a plate for covering said 90opening.

7. A. golf driver having a metal head which is hollow and which isprovided with an opening at the bottom and having the interior wallsfrom the opening at the bot- 95 tom converging slightly toward the topwall, and having projecting lugs cast to the walls of said head andhaving a plate secured to said lugs and covering the opening at thebottom of said head.

In testimony whereof, Ihave hereunto set my hand.
